Are the new infrared grills worse than microwave ovens?

Most of my articles I write on deal with conspiracy theorists and their attempt to take anything and turn it into something, but this is one item that I may have to somewhat agree with them on. In order to answer the question, “is an infrared grill safe?” you’d have to get a clear defiition of just what “safe” really is. To some people saying that you’re only doing minor damage to your body is acceptable but you have to wonder, should someone who smokes cigarettes really care about what a microwave oven or infrared grill is doing to their body? Probably not.

For years people have sworn that microwave ovens are dangerous to our health and bring up the fact that they were originally banned in Russia and then the US grabbed the technology and downgraded the power so it wasn’t as strong. Now it should be noted that microwave ovens have since then increased their power beyond what the Russians tested with and deemed as unsafe. So if you believe that microwave ovens are safe then you should also believe that infrared grills are safe for you health as well since they use the same type of technology (ok it’s a different part of the heat spectrum) but basically what people find dagnerous with microwaves they would most certainly find dangerous with an infrared grill.

The problem I have with saying that a microwave oven is damaging to us is the fact that people have been using microwaves for a very long time and continue to live well into their 80′s and 90′s. So maybe the best arguement would be that an infrared grill could increase your chances of causing harm to your body, but then again what can’t? This is similar to the information I read on infrared grills on several websites. So do I think they’re harmful? Yes, but I also think that playing frisbee out in the sun is harmful but that doesn’t mean it’s enough that we shouldn’t do it. I think I’m going to go for it though, I’ve been really into cooking lately and think this can bring it to the next level. I’ve also ordered some salad dressing to add to my famous salads I’ve been putting together. I want to get some nice wine to add with it and we’ll be really cooking, who knows, maybe after all this I’ll just end up being a chef, getting paid to eat sounds awesome!
